[QUOTE="WaveringFaith, post: 619433, member: 17636"] TryAgain - You are doing the right thing. Everyone's advice is right on. We don't like to think that the beautiful sweet and loving children we raised and sacrificed for would be so manipulative, but they can be. I am finally starting to see this and accept it. I finally had to let go of the image of the little boy that was my buddy for so long. I put away the small stack of childhood pictures that I would always stare at and reminisce and wonder where I went wrong and end up crying my eyes out. I put those pictures away. They ARE happy memories, and we did right by them. We did the best we could. We couldn't have foreseen the way things would end up, or the choices they made. Whether it's mental illness or drugs or violence, all of those circumstances, none give them the right to be disrespectful to us or other family members. If they are refusing treatment, or to be responsible, then we can do no more. I pray for strength for you and your family, and especially your difficult child and hope she will find her way and eventually live a healthy stable life. Just know you are not alone here! We have all gone through this, or are going through it now - as I am. I am smack dab in the middle of dealing with kicking out my difficult child. Keep reading and posting and surround yourself with positive people and be sweet to yourself, everyone has said to do. It will make a difference! Hugs! [/QUOTE]
